In a weekend match in week 11, on Sun Oct 9th, Nürnberg will play host to Holstein Kiel in a 2. Bundesliga match.

In their last match they recorded a 0-3 loss against Karlsruher SC. Fabian Schleusener struck first for Karlsruher SC in the 45th minute, then Philip Heise added another in the 78th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Nürnberg couldn’t manage to score, and Karlsruher SC took the shutout win.

Fabian Reese scored the first goal for Holstein Kiel in the 28th minute from the penalty spot, then in the 88th minute, Lee Dong-Gyeong sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Lukas Hinterseer earning them at least the one point. Holstein Kiel is looking for direction having 3 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win apiece.
Holstein Kiel’s most prolific scorer has been Fin Bartels. He has netted two goals over the last five matches. Kwadwo Duah and Castrop are the top scorers for Nürnberg in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
